Where's the water? Or is this a dry hot spring? Never heard of or saw one.

We went there in Nov. It's kind of eerie. We stayed at a onsen hotel nearby,with our own private onsen.

I called it a spring, but spring means water yah? Maybe I shoulda said hot bubbling mud. LOL.

There was an eruption! I'll share some photos of a memorial of buried homes that we saw.

There was steam coming from the ground all over the place.

There was an onsen in our hotel, but we didn't try it.

We stayed right across the street at the Unzen Sky Hotel.

We were so focused on shopping that we almost missed it.

Don’t the Japanese refer to places like that as jigoku dani, or something like that?

For sure jigoku, meaning hell. They kept saying we’re going to hell today.
